5. 1System overview
The new tachograph 1324 sets new stand-
ards in performance, technology, and design
due to its modular design with separate dis-
play and recording. The tachograph 1324,
which is in DIN radio compartment format, is
an innovative system component.
Driver 1 and driver 2 conveniently select the
respective working time groups via the con-
trol keys.
Besides the date, time and distance travelled,
the selected working time groups and the
symbols of the inserted charts are clearly
shown in the display. Failures at the device or
of a system component will be signalled
automatically.
Like before, the vehicle speed and the dis-
tance travelled as well as the driver specific
driving, working and break times are record-
ed on the tachograph chart.
Within the immediate field of view of the
driver, there is an approved indicating
instrument with analogous vehicle speed
pointer, digital distance counter, time and
trip odometer. The function monitor
refers to messages of the tachograph 1324.
Together with the intelligent sensor 2170,
the system forms a reliable unit. The sensor
provides real-time pulses and encoded data
for recording the distance travelled and the
vehicle speed.
May all your journeys be pleasant!

6. 2 General information
The symbols in these operating instructions
have the following meanings:
❒ Notes for the operation of the
tachograph 1324
• Only open the drawer for inserting or
removing the charts. Otherwise, keep it
shut at all times to avoid damages and to
prevent it from being contaminated.
• Do not use the drawer as a kind of sup-
port, like for example, for writing on the
charts.
• Do not use any abrasive detergents for
cleaning the device, nor any solvents like
diluent or naphtha.
• The tachograph 1324 will be installed
and sealed by authorised persons.
Please do not intervene at the device
or at the supply lines.
❒ Notes for the handling of the charts
• The chart is driver-specific and may
thus not be transferred to other
persons!
• Use charts provided by the manufacturer.
Make sure that the full-scale value and
the approval mark correspond to those
on the tachograph 1324, ➥ see page 16.
• Only insert perfect charts, they may
neither be folded, nor be torn at the
perimeter and / or at the opening, nor be
wavy or damaged in any other way!
• The recorded charts must be safely
stored and protected against damage, see
also Section 15 of the CR (EEC) No.
3821/85.
❒ Reference to legal provisions
• Those who modify the settings of the
controlling device or at the signal feed
line, which influence the record issued
by the controlling device, especially
when intending to deceive, may violate
official penal provisions or administra-
tive regulations!
ATTENTION!
The text next to this symbol contains
important information, which has to
be observed to prevent the device
from being damaged.
NOTES
or additional information, which, if
not observed, may lead to failures,
are marked by this symbol.

Comment on 1 driver operation
In the 1 driver operation, only the chart for
driver 1 is to be inserted on the separating
plate.
7. Make sure that the position of the chart
carrier is temporally correct. The time
scale of the chart has to be adjusted to

saving time are deposited within the
device and will be updated automati-
cally.
➥ See also page 14 "Error code
overview".

• in case of a change of driver or vehicle,
• at the end of the working time
• or after 24 hours at the latest.
1. Press key.
½ The "Ejection active"symbol is shown

nals that the records on the charts are
being completed by the Tacho-
graph 1324.
½ Wait until the drawer has been
unlocked.
2. Pull out the hinged drawer to the limit
stop and tip it down.
3. Remove the charts and complete the
inscription in the centre field,
➥ see page 18.
4. Bring the hinged drawer into a horizontal
position and push it in until it latches.
Comment
In case you have, however, switched off the
ignition, it is possible that the drawer does
not properly lock after closing. In this case,
please proceed as follows:
1. Switch on the ignition.
½ Wait until the ejection procedure has
been finished.
2. Then push in the drawer until it locks
into place.
3. Switch off the ignition again.
Automatic switching off of the time
group and the distance recording
In case the drawer remains closed with the
charts inserted for more than 25 hours, the
tachograph 1324 automatically records the
time group " " for driver 1 and 2. The
tachograph 1324 thus goes easy on the vehi-
cle batteries.
Notes on a standstill of the vehicle
The drawer may only be opened,
if ...
• the vehicle is at a standstill and
• the ignition is switched on.
Please do not switch off the ignition
while the "Ejection active" symbol is
shown on the display!
If the vehicle will not be used for a
long time, please make sure that
there is no chart in the tacho-
graph 1324; e.g. in case of mainte-
nance or repair work or immobilisa-
tion of the vehicle.
14. 10 Driver change
In case the driver changes the vehicle during
his daily working time, he has to take the
chart with him and note the vehicle change
on the rear of the chart.
Case 1:
The crew changes among them-
selves, driver 2 becomes driver 1:
1. Exchange the charts.
½ Driver 1 (now driver 2) places his
chart below the separating plate and
driver 2 (now driver 1) on the separat-
ing plate.
2. Select the desired time groups.
½ The new driver 1 presses the key ,
the driver 2 the key .
Case 2:
Driver 1 or driver 2 leaves the vehi-
cle:
1. The respective driver takes his chart with
him.
2. The new driver 2 places his chart below
the separating plate.
or:
The new driver 1 places his chart on the
separating plate.
Comment
In case there is no new driver 2, the time
group has to be switched to break time " ",
otherwise an error message will be displayed.
Case 3:
Driver 1 and driver 2 both leave the
vehicle:
1. Both drivers remove their charts from
the device.
2. The new crew inserts the chart according
to their respective functions
(driver 1 or driver 2) in the device.

The rear side of the chart
The tachograph 1324 has two basic chart
types:
c) without rpm recording
d) with rpm recording
1 Entry field for the time groups
This entry field is used for manual entries
of the time groups. Manual entries are
required if, for example, the crew
members work away from the vehicle
and therefore are not able to operate the
tachograph 1324 or else in case of a fail-
ure of the time group recording mecha-
nism.
2 Centre field
In the centre field, up to three vehicle
changes may be entered manually.
The following data is required:
3 Approval mark field
This part of the rear side contains
information on the approval numbers of
the chart and the devices for which the
chart is approved.
4 RPM recording
The temporally exact recording (in rpm)
is carried out on the rear side of the chart
for driver 1.

Power loss
In case there is power available again, the tachograph 1324
will draw a line (1) on the chart shortly after the vehicle has
started to move.
Sensor 2170 disconnection
Failure of the transmission link between sensor 2170 Ø

• As soon as the vehicle stands still, the marker (2) is
shown.
or
• The marker (3) is displayed immediately after the fail-
ure and remains there,
until the cause of the failure has been remedied.
Device failures
Failures in the recording mechanism may
cause the following recording errors:
• Marker (4), defect within the v-recording mechanism.
• Marker (5) and (6), defect within the recording mecha-
nism for the time group and distance record.
